Agenda Text
The Board is requested to receive and approve the Durham County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council’s (JCPC) local funding recommendation for FY 2019-2020. At their regular scheduled meeting on April 24, 2019, with a quorum present, the JCPC members voted to recommend the attached local funding plan for the allocation of $536,666 in state funding for FY 2019-2020.
These funds are anticipated to be included in the State of North Carolina’s FY 2019-2020 budget and allocated to Durham County by the Department of Public Safety Division of Juvenile Justice based on a formula. The funding is available only for programs serving youth who are delinquent, undisciplined, or at risk of court involvement and is restricted to services providing intermediate and community sanctions to the courts. Programs are required to offer treatment, rehabilitation and/or educational enrichment as prioritized in the publicly advertised Request for Proposals (RFP). This year, JCPC received applications requesting a total of $672,982.
The Durham County JCPC conducted the funding allocation process in accordance with the relevant North Carolina General Statutes and the Division of Juvenile Justice’s procedures and guidelines. Council members were assisted in the process by JCPC Area Consultant Walter Crews.
